A reboot I trust, but not the first one after a kernel change. On a weekend I can drive in and see what happened if necessary and switch to a backup router. In our main office I have 2 running side by side and I can log in to the T1 router and change switch ports to swap them. Then a reboot on the router to hasten the MAC changeover. Usually 5 minutes tops. -- MailScanner is like deodorant...
